“…Natural active ingredients are greatly presumed by the consumers as being safer than the synthetic ones and economically advantageous alternatives (Oliveira et al, 2009). In addition, the scientific evidence supports the effectiveness and benefits of the topical botanical therapies, and the proof of safety enables dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to encourage the consumers to use these products (Fisk et al, 2014;Iannacone, Huges, Green, 2014). Makeup products are decorative cosmetics formulated in several dosage forms.…”

Application of sunscreen is the most established method of protecting skin from premature aging and photoaging. In this study, the passion fruit seed extract, enriched with biologically beneficial phenolics, was formulated into sun-protective makeup product. The UVB protection of concealer mousse was found have twofold higher sun protection factor (SPF) than the liquid foundation (15.48 ± 1.60 and 5.88 ± 0.30, respectively). The SPF of concealer mousse as well as the liquid foundation containing 0.1% and 0.3% of the passion fruit seed extract were 18.75 ± 0.28, 18.99 ± 0.71 and 9.32 ± 0.88, 9.77 ± 1.37, respectively. Therefore, the concealers with a similar sun-protective efficacy (p>0.05) were included for stability test accordingly. The sun-protective efficacy did not significantly shift (p>0.05) because the 0.1% and 0.3% passion fruit extract concealers had SPF of 18.09 ± 1.48 and 18.60 ± 1.21. The concealers exhibited UVA photoprotection with a boot star rating of 4 and a critical wavelength wider than 370 nm. The safety of 0.1% passion fruit extract concealer mousse was assessed. It did not cause skin irritation when assessed in human volunteers. This sunscreen makeup product provides UVA and UVB protection and is therefore suitable for daily application.

Treatment of melasma remains challenging due to frequent relapses and the occurrence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) following many interventions. Treatment goals are inhibition of melanin synthesis and transfer by sunscreens, sun avoidance and the use of bleaching agents on one hand and removal of already present pigment by peeling, lasers and light on the other hand. Triple combination creams (TCC) (also known as Kligman's formula utilizing hydroquinone and modifications of Kligman's formula) remain the mainstay of treatment. Newer bleaching agents derived from plants and synthetic compounds have been introduced and many of them are promising safe substitutes for hydroquinone.Peeling agents especially superficial and medium depth peels are effective treatment modalities for melasma. Newer peeling agents are less irritating and may thus lead to fewer side effects. Q-switched lasers, which target melanin, have led to PIH until the innovation of "laser toning" and fractional Qswitched ruby, which have better outcomes. Fractional non-ablative and ablative lasers are useful at lower fluencies. Pulsed dye laser, which targets the vascular component in melasma, is promising with less melasma rebound.Combinations of the above-mentioned modalities usually have a better treatment outcome than either alone. This review will focus on the more recently introduced therapies.

“…Main drugs used for these purposes include hydroquinone, mequinol, kojic acid, corticosteroids, azelaic acid, arbutin and rucinol. 24,25 Antityrosinase activity has been demonstrated in native plants from several Asian countries, particularly Bangladesh, 26 India, 27 Indonesia, 28 Korea, 29 and Nepal. 30 Similar activity has been demonstrated in Argentinian 31 and Brazilian plant species.…”

IntroductionMesoamerica is a cultural and historical region were several important civilizations developed, such as Toltec, Zapotec, Maya and Aztec. Guatemala is a diverse country, pluricultural and multilingual, with a profoundly syncretic culture as a heritage of Maya and Spanish cultures. It is a region of high diversity, which complement the biological richness with a profound value for this local biodiversity by its inhabitants with an integral vision, including diverse applications such as flavors, aromas, spices and condiments, dyes and colorants; food (grains, oilseeds, fruits, herbs), and medicinal plants, herbals and cosmetics. This minireview paper deals with the historical usage of plants for hair and skin care, and the recent investigations on antioxidant, solar protection and tyrosinase inhibition potential for skin clearing of native species from the Mesoamerican biodiversity.
